The Lady Lyonors wrung her hands and wept, 
As doomed to be the bride of Night and Death; 
Sir Gareth's head prickled beneath his helm; 
And even Sir Lancelot through his warm blood felt 
Ice strike, and all that marked him were aghast. 

At once Sir Lancelot's charger fiercely neighed, 
And Death's dark war-horse bounded forward with him.

That Death was cast to ground, and slowly rose.

...red -- I recollect
Just the Day it was --
Worlds were lying out to Sun --
Yet how Nature froze --

Icicles upon my soul
Prickled Blue and Cool --
Bird went praising everywhere --
Only Me -- was still --

And the Day that I despaired --
